Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Novel Questioners of The New Inquisitors is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Viktoria Gryfynn with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 13.383 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Domine. The average income tax rate is 76%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Uranium Mining.

CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, the arms industry is strictly regulated, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, and loans are available for students from poor families. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New Inquisitors's national animal is the wolf, its national religion is Optimystic Nowism, and its currency is the Silver Soveregn.

The New Inquisitors is ranked 473rd in The New Inquisition and 63,468th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -14 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
